Status of RecordsBurke County has suffered massive record losses, mainly due to the Civil War, when in 1865, many records were burned by Union troops. I have been to and through Burke County many times, but have stopped to do any research. All my research there (so far) has been "remote" via the NC Archives or via published records.
